Egyptian passport

Egyptian passports (Arabic: جواز السفر المصري) are issued to nationals of Egypt for the purpose of international travel.

Egyptian passports are valid for seven years for adults, and is issued for lesser periods for school or college students, or those who have not finalized their status of the military conscription.

The word "جواز سفر•PASSPORT" (the former being the Arabic equivalent) is inscribed below the coat of arms, and "جمهورية مصر العربية•ARAB REPUBLIC OF EGYPT" above.

To apply for a passport, either an Egyptian National ID card is required, or a computerized birth certificate for those below the age of 16.

An application for a passport made in London, for example, would be forwarded to the Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Cairo for processing.

If an Egyptian Embassy in America allows for a passport extension there, in order to allow the passport holder to travel back to Egypt and update it for the requested 7 years, they will require security measures from the Consulate in America detailing the short notice extinction.
